I can't get motivated to work out.

I was gonna go to the gym but it's a 25 minute drive and i can get a pretty good workout in my garage. I normally only workout at the gym on the way home from work. I can't get started. I guess I'm gonna just sit here on my lazy ass.

When I get like that I trick myself (unless I'm in a major slump like I've just come out of). But when I'm just feeling lazy, I'll tell myself I'm just going to do something short, like a half session or half the sets or just go do what I can for 15 or 20 minutes or something.

Nine times out of ten I end up feeling better once I start moving and do it all anyway.

The tenth time at least you've done a small workout, which is much better than nothing at all.

That's a good idea. I'm gonna tell myself that I'm only gonna do one set of everything. Then if I feel doing more, I will. Thanks for the great idea!

The mind trick is working. I haven't shortcut anything yet.

Okay, I'm done feel much better. I cried about 15 minutes into my stair stepping session while thinking about my grandmother dying. Life just doesn't seem to make any goddamn sense. I really think we probably die and that's it. Might as well enjoy it while you can.

I came to the conclusion that it doesn't matter one way or the other a long time ago. The fact of the matter is being a decent person feels right in most people's hearts, and I truly believe the rest will sort itself out one way or another.

Our bodies are animated by energy and energy is indestructible. What happens to that energy when it dissipates from our bodies is the big question.
